Acts 21:17-37
Prophesies Fulfilled
Summary:
There may be times when you get to tell people about Jesus. It is a great thing to do, and it is awesome to see God work through it! But it is not always easy. Let's think about a time when Paul suffered for Jesus:
Outline:
1. Gospel witness flows from a love for God and a love for people
2. The Gospel's enemies seek to suppress the truth
3. Gospel suffering follows in Jesus' footsteps
Verse:
2 Timothy 2:3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Discussion Questions:
1. Have you ever suffered for your Gospel witness before? What form did that take?
2. Why do you think Paul agreed to take the four men in this passage to the temple to complete their vow? What was the purpose? Is there any significance in this for our own witness?
3. How did Paul's sufferings in this passage mirror some of Jesus' own experience? How might Luke be trying to encourage us by drawing those parallels?
4. How can this encourage you this week in your walk?
